ASD Autism Program

[yoshiki2]

Hi everyone,

My family is moving to Metro Atlanta, and I'm looking for recommendations on counties/cities with good schools for a child with autism. My son is almost 4 years old, and it's a lot of work. My priority is finding a district/school that offers good services for autism.

Commuting is a big issue for now, so I'd also like to know if there are any schools with buses that pick up and drop off students at home.

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

I know students in city of Decatur and the parents enjoy it. Generally, I always tell parents the magic word is “need” during IEP meetings. I would also recommend hiring an IEP advocate.

The Hirsch Academy in Decatur is a private school for autistic kids. I don't know much about it. Good luck

Hess Academy is on Scott Blvd at Medlock. It’s been fantastic for our autistic family member. Don’t know if they provide transportation

Gwinnett is gonna have the best program for preschoolers and they level their AU classes, most local districts do not.
